the most frustrating thing is that people are buying into it.
at some point police will be involved I reckon.

As for my dream coin?
A business strike 1923 1/2d with underlying luster and red through the legends...doesnt even have to be unc, gEF / aUNC would be fine

My choice would easily be the outstanding looking proof 1927 Canberra Florin. One day.[attachment=2805]

Looking at Heritage you could get an impaired (PR61-62) for $5000-$10,000. A nice one (PR66-67) could be $30,000.

Why is it that coin design reached a peak around that time that has never been equalled? As nice as the Gothic Crown was I think that Una and the Lion is even more beautiful. William Wyon was the best of the best.

well my dream coin isn't like you might think but then again, I want a 3 tone coin with "adavance the wonderful nation of ausjack, the supreme ruler" on one side and of course my very pretty effigy on the other AND solid gold of course..am I dreaming :laugh2:

Well you's didn't say they had to be a real coin but I'll never have the money for my dream coins but still nice to dream

Yes I must admit very nice indeed, so why is it that they actually look more 3d/life like than coins of today with all their high-tech :dodgy:
